Any vegans in the group

Posted by normant12 @normant12, Jan 18 12:21pm

I'm a cancer patient and was on lupron or as I call it "bone glue" All the nurses laugh when I call it,as my oncologist explained to me that after chemo your bones are at a higher risks for fractures. So I was on it for 2 years and now I'm off of it. I'll be seeing an endocrinologist in April, but I'm also working on trying to take some collagen or at least collagen builder that is vegan right now. I'm trying "future kind plus' collagen booster, don't really know if it'll work, but I figured I'd give it a try. I'm just wondering if there's other vegans here that do something similar and how that's worked for them. I get a dexa skin once a year and my next one will be next December. Thanks for your time

I use Collagen By Native Path, plus Creatine by Native Path. Can't say if it's vegan, I'm sure the website will specify.

Vegan collagen powder is a plant-based supplement designed to support the body's natural collagen production, often containing ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that help enhance skin elasticity, hair strength, and nail health. Unlike traditional collagen, which is derived from animal sources, vegan collagen is formulated to be suitable for those following a vegan lifestyle.

Understand there is no vegan collagen because collagen itself is made out of something that's not vegan. I'm just curious what other people use if there are other people that use stuff. I'm trying one and we'll see what happens with it.
